Europa League Betting

Celtic v Rosenborg Betting Preview – UEFA Europa League 20th September 7.55pm

Celtic met Rosenborg in the qualification rounds of this season’s UEFA Champions League. It was a success for Celtic in that tie, but ultimately they failed at the last hurdle in trying to get to the group stage of the Champions League. So they will be hoping for more of the same success over Rosenborg to at least get their Europa League campaign going. Read our predictions for the Celtic v Rosenborg fixture.

Celtic News and Form

This has been a long season for Celtic already as they had to start early in Champions League qualifying. They are on a six-match unbeaten streak of form, winning four of those, but they still don’t’ appear to be on top of their game. They played out a 0-0 draw against St Mirren on the weekend in the Scottish Premiership and that means that they have netted just two goals in their last three games now. So with Celtic struggling with their finishing under 2.5 goals at bet365 for 21/20 odds* (Betting Odds were taken on September 17th, 2018 at 2:12 p.m.)

Celtic made it past FK Suduva in the Europa League play off round, posting a 4-1 aggregate success. However, they have come up with the one goal exactly in three of their last four home games in all competitions. In the correct score market a Celtic 1-0 option appeals for our Celtic v Rosenborg predictions at 11/2 odds* (Betting Odds were taken on September 17th, 2018 at 2:12 p.m.). As a positive though Celtic have not conceded in any of their last three home games, so they do look good value to get out with a clean sheet under their belt in this one.

Rosenborg News and Form

Rosenborg are deep into their domestic season and they are in some fine form at the moment. They have won their last seven games in all options and they have been scoring freely. They have netted at least two goals in all but one of those seven games. But when they went up against Celtic in the Champions League qualifiers this season they weren’t much of a match for the Scottish side, as Rosenborg lost 3-1 away and were held to a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture. Both teams not to score is at 4/5 odds* (Betting Odds were taken on September 17th, 2018 at 2:12 p.m.). It is unlikely that the Norwegians are going to get a win on the board, but they will see value in avoiding defeat.

Celtic v Rosenborg Head to Head

There was a good 3-1 home win for Celtic over Rosenborg at Celtic Park when they met in the Champions League qualifiers. They played out a 0-0 draw in the return fixture. Celtic are well up in the head to head against Rosenborg as their record is W5 D2 L1. Celtic have won three of their four previous home games (D1) against them. Five of the last six between them have gone under 2.5 goals.
